Roughyed Help: The Beggarmen (30) RE: Help: The Beggarmen 22 Aug 08


I was there when the album was recorded. Tony Kelly was a teacher at my school and used to help those of us struggling with the guitar, and in my case the mandolin. He invited a few of us to the gig and their version of Curragh of Kildare was the real beginning for me of a love affair with the music. I'm forever grateful. Last thing I heard Tony was up in the Lake District but that was a few years ago and wherever he is I hope he is well and happy. I think one of them (maybe Eamonn) ended up in Dublin. I don't know of any other recordings. My memory is that a year of two later they broke up and Tony and Eamonn went out as Kelly and Walsh.
